In this paper, we proposed a advanced approach to resolve the trade-off problem for the threshold value determining the photo-consistency in the previous algorithms. The threshold value for the surface voxel is substituted the photo-consistency value of the inside voxel. As iterating the voxel coloring process, the threshold is approached to the optimal value for the individual surface voxel. we present an energy minimization formulation of the binary labeling problem that surface voxels classify into opacity or transparency. The energy formula consists of the data term and the smoothness term. As considering neighboring voxels in the labeling problem, the unevenness of reconstructed surface is reduced. The labeling whose energy is the global minimum can be computed using a graph cut.

Retroviruses enter host cells by membrane fusion between the viral Env proteins on the virus membrane and a virus receptor on the cellular membrane. The envelope protein of the ecotropic Moloney murine leukemia virus is synthesized as a gp85 precursor and is proteolytically cleaved into an extracellular surface unit (SU) and the transmembrane protein (TM). The cytoplasmic tail (16 amino acid; R peptide) of the TM protein is further cleaved by the viral protease during virion maturation. Unlike the wild type Env protrin bearing the R peptide, R peptide-truncated Envelope induces syncytia in susceptible cells. To understand the mechanism of R peptidetruncated Env in syncytium formation, R peptide-truncated Env expressing full-length molecular clone containing EGFP in PRR (proline rich region) of Env was constructed. This molecular clone induced syncytia in transfected NIH3T3 cells, fluorescence was detected in the cytoplasm and at the plasma membrane, while the nuclei did not stain and appeared black by fluorescence microscopy. Interestingly, virions with truncated envelope produced from transfected NIH3T3 cells induced syncytia in NIH3T3 cells, but fluorescence was not detected in the same infected cells. It is believed that cell-free viruses direct the fusion of neighboring cells without infection. Our data suggests that use of EGFP-tagged envelope for monitoring syncytium is a sensitive and convenient method. We also found that virion incorporated the R peptide-truncated Env is able to induce the formation of syncytia by fusion from without.

아라미드는 일반적인 유기섬유와는 다른 우수한 역학적 성질을 바탕으로 보호의류 중에서 방탄방호 및 방검보호 의류에 사용되는 고부가 소재이다. 현재까지 ATY기계에서 사의 구조와 물성에 큰 영향을 미치는 Nozzle의 구조에 대한 연구결과는 많이 발표되어왔다. 그러나 최근 들어 소방방화방 검용 보호의류에 많이 사용되는 아라미드사에 ATY 공정 중에서 Nozzle의 직경이 ATY사의 물성에 어떤 영향을 미치는가에 대한 연구는 발표된 바가 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Para-aramid/Nylon hybrid사를 이용하여 ATY로 제조할 경우, 표면에 생기는 loop로 인하여 타 소재와 접착시, 접착제 담지 성능이 향상되어 접착력이 상승되는 반면 아라미드 Hybrid사의 역학물성은 ATY가 가공되기 전의 물성보다 저하되는 약점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 ATY 제조공정에서 Nozzle의 직경을 달리할 때 Aramid/Nylon Hybrid ATY사의 물성변화를 분석함으로서 방화복과 방검용 보호의류에 적합한 아라미드 ATY사를 개발하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 ATY 제조공정 중 다른 공정조건은 동일하게 하고 Nozzle의 직경을 0.6, 0.75, 1, 1.2mm로 변경하여 4가지 시료를 준비하고 물성분석을 위하여 제조된 시료의 강신도, 초기탄성률을 각각 측정하여 인장특성을 확인하였으며, 건열수축률과 습열수축률을 측정하여 시료의 열 수축률을 측정 분석하였다. 표면의 루프 발현 정도를 보기위하여 형태 불안정성을 측정 평가하였으며 영상현미경시스템을 사용하여 표면특성을 측정 평가하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. Nozzle의 직경이 증가함에 따라 절단강도는 30% 감소하였고 초기탄성률은 3배 가까이 감소하였다. 그리고 절단신도는 2배정도 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한 Nozzle의 직경이 증가함에 따라 ATY hybrid사의 건 습열수축률이 증가하다가 직경이 1.2mm일 때 감소하는 경향을 나타내었고 직경 변화에 따라 4~6%의 열 수축률의 분포를 보였다. Para-aramid/Nylon hybrid사의 형태불안정성은 0.3~0.5%를 분포를 나타내었고 Nozzle의 직경이 0.6, 1mm일 때 상대적으로 낮은 ATY의 불안정성이 확인되었다. Nozzle의 직경이 감소할수록 loop의 엉킴이 적으며 flat하였으며 직경이 1.2mm일 때 가장 조밀하고 표면에 loop가 많이 형성된 것을 확인하였다.

The solution polymerization was conducted to synthesize pressure sensitive adhesive for polarizer film using acrylic monomers. 2-Ethylhexylacrylate, butylacrylate, acrylic acid were used as acrylic monomers. The ratio was 2-ethylliexylacrylate:butylacrylate:acrylic acid=25:50:3.6 by reflecting $-40^{\circ}C$ of glass transition temperature in the pressure sensitive adhesive. When 1 wt% of coupling agent was added to the polymerized pressure sensitive adhesive, the light transmissivity was significantly increased. This result is due to the enhancement of adhesive power against liquid crystal cell by Si-O bond of coupling agents. Cross-linking agent was added by 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 wt% with respect to the synthesized polymer. Initial tackiness decreased, while cohesion increased with increasing crosslinking agent. In the analysis of contact angle, the increase of crosslinking agents yielded the enhancement of surface energy, resulting in the decrease of contact angle. From the measurement of heat resistance, the acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive showed excellent heat resistance regardless of change in temperature and contents in crosslinking agent. In the observation of a cutting plane, the increased crosslinking agent represented a smoother and cleaner section. Comprehensively, the optimum additive amount of crosslinking agent was determined to be 1.0 wt% to monomer.

여러 연구들을 통해 많은 학자들이 임프란트 안정성(stability)은 표면의 특징에 달려있다고 생각하게 되었다. 표면의 구조, 에너지, 산화물(oxide) 두께와 표면성상(topography)등 임프란트의 표면의 특징은 임프란트와 골조직의 반응에서 중요한 역할을 하는 것이 알려짐에 따라 티타뮨 임프란트의 표면의 처리 방법에 큰 관심을 가지게 되었다. 그 중에서 티타늄 임프란트 표면의 산화피막화(anodization)가 한 방법으로 대두되었다. 이 방법은 전기화학적 방식으로 임프란트 표면에 거칠고(rough)두꺼우며(thick), 기공(pore)을 가지는 산화물 막을 형성하는 것으로 산화물의 두께는 coronal 부분(l-2 ${\mu}m$)으로부터 apical부분(7-10 ${\mu}m$)까지 증가하게 된다. 산화피막의 표면에는 다양한 크기의 수많은 기공이 주로 1-2 ${\mu}m$ 두께로 임프란트의 apical 부분에서 존재하며, 임프란트 표면의 거칠기는 conical 위부분에서 apical 부분까지 계속 증가한다(평균 Ra value=1.2 ${\mu}m$). 또 다른 표면 처리 방법으로는 blasting 후에 etching을 한 SLA 표면이 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 일반적으로 많이 이용되고 있는 anodized 표면과 SLA 표면의 조직학적 반응을 비교 분석하는 것이다. 24개 임프란트를(anodized surfaced implant-12개 , SLA-12개, 8mm ${\times}\;{\Phi}$ 4.3) 6마리 토끼의 오른쪽과 왼쪽 femur에 식립하였다. 12주후에 동물들을 희생하여 EXACT cutting-grinding system을 이용하여 샘플을 절단하고 800, 1200 및 4000 번 연마제(abrasive) paper로 20-50 ${\mu}m$ 까지 grinding하였다. 샘플은 Multiple staining 용액으로 염색하여 SLA 임프란트 군과 비교하였다. 골과 임프란트 사이에 연결을 TDI 프로그램을 이용하여 %로 측정하였다. SLA 임프란트 군 경우에는 골과 임프란트 사이의 연결이 $74{\pm}19%$ 이고, 양극 산화한 임프란트 군 경우에는 $77{\pm}9%$이었다. 양극 산화한 티타늄 임프란트의 골 접촉률이 SLA 표면 임프란트 경우과 통계학적으로 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았다.

Artificial lightweight aggregates were produced by using bottom ashes and dredged soils from coal power plant. The amount of glassy phases on the aggregate surfaces, specific gravities, absorption rates, and observations of cross-sectional surfaces were compared according to the compositions, sintering temperatures, and the amount of coating. It is concluded that surface modification by 10 % $CaCO_3$ coating on the aggregate surfaces enhances the properties of aggregates as follows: Specific gravities were controlled by depressing formation of large pores in the aggregates. Sticking phenomena among aggregates during the sintering process was drastically decreased by reducing glassy phases on the aggregate surfaces. Pumping problems during the application of ready-mix concretes containing lightweight aggregates having high value of absorption rates could be solved by reducing the absorption rate.

Photodegradation characteristics of polyolefin composites were studied. Thermogravimetric analysis results suggest that the polyolefin blends used in this study have different amounts of talc. The mechanical behaviors of polyolefin blends, which experienced UV-irradiation in accordance with SAE J1960, are investigated using tensile and Izod impact tests. These results show that as the UV-exposure time increases, a significant drop in the elongation at break and impact strength at a low temperature are observed. This may be explained by the decreases in elastic energy derived from the scission of polymer molecular chains and the low density of entanglement after UV- photodegradation. Scanning electron microscopy observations indicate that no crack and surface damage are observed, while the additional talc particles are exposed, on the UV-exposed surfaces. The exposure of talc particles may be responsible for the discoloration of UV-exposed polyolefin blend surface. Observation using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirms the presence of photodegradation on the surface of UV-exposed polyolefin blend.

Surface hardening treatment is required to improve the wear-resistance of press die because severe abrasion of die occurs during the drawing process in which the forming of the automotive body is completed and during the trimming process in which the unnecessary parts are cut. In this study, experiments on the laser surface treatment of press die are performed. Specimens are heat-treated separately at certain plate and edge position by using a diode laser to carry out suitable surface hardening treatment to reduce the wear during the drawing and the trimming processes, and the proper conditions for heat treatment are found. Spheroidal and flake graphite cast iron specimens are used, and the heat treatment characteristics of the two materials are compared. From the results of the study, it is confirmed that the heat treatment characteristics differed depending on the materials.

This paper presents an experimental study on the air contents and the chloride penetration in offshore concrete depending on the types of forms. Three types of concretes(plain, MSF, and FA concretes) with four kinds of forms(wood, coating wood, steel, and polypropylene film) were investigated. The test results show that the air contents in the concrete cured with steel and polypropylene forms were higher than those with wood and coating wood forms. The concrete with wood forms has the least air content. The variation of chloride ingress time was large depending on the types of forms on the same concrete, i.e. 13.2, 20.3, and 17.7% for Plain, MSF, and FA concretes, respectively. Consequently, the surface conditions of forms should be considered for design of durable concrete.

In this research, evaluation of adhesion in tension property of SBR-modified concrete to ordinary portland cement concrete was conducted with uniaxial direct tensile bond test which was proposed by Kuhlmann. A test set-up was fabricated in order to minimize the eccentric force by introducing a joint which might fully rotate. The main experimental variables were cement-latex ratios, surface preparations and moisture levels. The results obtained were as follows: The LMC specimen at 15% latex-cement ratio increased the adhesion in tension by range of 37% compared to that of conventional cement concrete. This might be due to latex film formed between cement paste and aggregate. The effects of surface preparation on bond of latex modified concrete to conventional concrete were significant at the conditions by sand paper and wire brush. A better bond could be achieved by rough surface rather than smooth. The saturated and surface dry (SSD) condition were considered to be the most appropriate moisture level followed by wet, finally by dry. Thus, a proper surface preparation and moisture level are quite necessity in order to obtain better bonding at LMC overlay.
